The U.S. government recently proposed a $600 million settlement for Walmartwmt to close a bribery investigation, but the retailer refuses to pay.

The Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission have been investigating Walmart for foreign corruption allegations for the past five years, Bloomberg reports. Officials have offered to end the investigation if Walmart would pay the settlement, but the company has rejected the offer. If the retailer had paid, it would have been the largest settlement in a foreign corruption case since the U.S. implemented laws 40 years ago that prohibit bribery of foreign officials for business purposes.

This means that Walmart and the government are now at an impasse, so the latter is now attempting to gather more evidence regarding bribery in Mexico to strengthen its case. Specifically, the Justice Department and SEC are looking into allegations that Walmart bribed Mexican officials to hasten the process of receiving zoning and building permits. According to Bloomberg, some of the behavior officials are investigating may be past the statute of limitations.

A Walmart spokesperson told Bloomberg, “As we’ve said from the beginning, we are cooperating fully with the government in this matter and have no further comment on that process.” Officials are hoping to close this investigation before a new administration takes over in the new year.

Adding up expenses for its own internal investigation as well as legal fees, Walmart has already spent about $791 million on this case. “Although we do not presently believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business,” Walmart wrote to investors in a regulatory filing in March, “given the inherent uncertainties in such situations, we can provide no assurance that these matters will not be material to our business in the future.”

Cognizant Conducting Corruption Probe, President Replaced

IT services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions said it was conducting an internal investigation into possible violations of U.S. anti-corrupt practices laws related to payments in India, sending its shares tumbling on Friday.

The company also said president Gordon Coburn had resigned and would be replaced by Rajeev Mehta, the head of IT services.

Cognizant ctsh, which gave no reason for Coburn’s departure, did not respond to a query on whether it was linked to the probe.

The company’s shares closed down 13.4% at $47.63 on Friday, wiping out about $4.5 billion of market value.

They fell as much as 17.4% to $45.44, their lowest in more than two years.

The alleged attackers appear to have sent foundation staffers booby-trapped email attachments or links to websites featuring malicious content, a technique known as “spear phishing,” according to the report. These are the same tactics reportedly employed against other organizations, such as the Democratic National Committee, the presidential campaign supporting Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic Party’s’ congressional fundraising committee.

Craig Minassian, the Clinton Foundation’s communications chief, told Fortune that the Foundation has not discovered a compromise.

“What I told you before is still true,” he wrote in an email, pointing to a statement he made in regards to an earlier alleged breach of the foundation in June. “We have no evidence Clinton Foundation systems were breached and have not been notified by law enforcement of an issue.”

FireEye officials declined to comment.

Security experts have speculated—and administration officials have said behind closed doors—that Russian intelligence agencies are likely behind the operations targeting Democratic groups, though the U.S. government has not said so publicly. Russian spies or their operatives are believed to be behind the attack on the foundation as well, Reuters reported.

Democrats continue to brace themselves for the possibility of imminent leaks from hackers. Last week, the online persona that goes by “Guccifer 2.0,” believed by many to be an elaborate front by Russian intelligence, released hundreds of personal phone numbers and email addresses for Democratic leaders. Officials fear more could be on the way.

Fiat Chrysler Revamps U.S. Sales Reporting Amid Federal Probes

(Reuters) – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced changes in the way it reports U.S. vehicle sales on Tuesday amid an investigation by federal authorities into claims of inflated sales figures.

The maker of Jeep and Dodge vehicles said earlier this month that it was cooperating with investigations by the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The probes, including a criminal investigation, stem from claims by some dealers that they were forced by Fiat Chrysler officials to falsify sales reports.

In its statement on Tuesday, the company said monthly U.S. sales reports in the past have had no impact on its reported revenue or financial statements issued quarterly.

But it said it was revising its sales reporting methods in a bid to be more transparent and consistent about its monthly results.

FCA, like other major U.S. automakers, books revenue when vehicles are sold wholesale to dealers, not when sales are made to retail customers.

The company, which has reported year-over-year sales gains every month since April 2010, stopped short of admitting any wrongdoing. But it said that winning streak would have ended nearly three years ago under the reporting methodology it is now adopting.

“Annual sales volumes under the new methodology for each year in the 2011-2016 period are within approximately 0.7 percent of the annual unit sales volumes previously reported,” FCA’s statement said.

One of the key changes is that the company will streamline the way its reports “fleet” sales each month to be at time of delivery from FCA. In the past, FCA says now, arbitrary measurements of sales to some fleet customers were made, often when a vehicle was being tailored after the factory sale to meet customer specifications.

An internal review at Fiat Chrysler has found that its U.S. sales figures were inflated by 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles, Automotive News reported on Monday, citing company sources. The report did not specify the time period.

FCA issued a table that shows its U.S. monthly auto sales since 2011 using the new methodology and what is reported earlier.

The table shows that by using the new method of reporting sales, in some months sales would have been higher and in other months lower than they were initially reported by FCA.

Procter & Gamble’s Rome Offices Just Got Searched In A Tax Probe

Italian authorities are investigating whether Procter & Gamblethe-procter-gamble-co routed revenue through its Swiss and other units to avoid paying taxes in the country, Bloomberg reported.

The investigation is looking into whether P&G used units such as Geneva-based Procter & Gamble International Operations SA for the purpose, Bloomberg reported, citing two people familiar with the probe.

Italy’s finance police in April started searching P&G’s offices in Rome, the report said, citing the people.

“We are cooperating fully with the authorities in this particular case and do not have further information to share at this time,” P&G spokeswoman Jennifer Corso said in an email to Reuters.

A small team of European Union officials is leading an investigation that could force some of the world’s biggest companies, including Appleaapl and Amazon.comamzn, to pay billions of euros in avoided taxes.

Man Accused of Attacking Google HQ With Molotov Cocktails

The headquarters of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, was attacked three times over the last two months, according to local reports. And it may have had something to do with a man believing Google had tracked him.

Police in Mountain View, Calif. arrested a man on June 30 who allegedly had a weapons case in his vehicle with material that could be used for a pipe bomb, San Jose Mercury Newsreports, citing an affidavit filed last week in federal court in San Jose. The affidavit says the man, Raul Diaz, told police officers that he “felt Google was watching him and that made him upset,” the news outlet says. He reportedly also kept a journal to note when he believed Google had monitored him.

According to the affidavit, a man visited Alphabet’s GOOGL offices on three occasions. On May 19, a company employee is said to have spotted a man throwing Molotov cocktails at a Google Street View vehicle that is used to photograph roads. On June 4, an unidentified person heard shots fired on the campus, the affidavit says. Police reported seeing five holes in windows and broken glass, but whoever was responsible had left by the time they had arrived.

Finally, on June 10, a man is said to have set fire to one of the company’s cars. Security cameras showed a man using a squirt gun to douse the car with what police said could have been gasoline or another flammable liquid, according to the report.

The attacks all occurred late at night, the report says. Police couldn’t identify the individual or individuals involved through security camera footage, but the affidavit says the same SUV was on Google’s campus in the first two incidents.

Police arrested Diaz after he was seen driving his SUV through Alphabet’s parking lot, according to CNN Money. He has been accused of malicious damage to a building or vehicle by an explosive related to the May 19 incident, but has not been charged in the others.

An investigation is underway to determine whether Diaz was involved in the other incidents. He is currently being held in the Santa Clara County Jail without bail.

This Is Where Apple Might Be Involved in an Antitrust Investigation

Apple has found itself mingled in some sort of investigation. But questions abound over why.

Speaking at a parliamentary hearing on Tuesday, Jeong Jae-chan, chairman of South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said that the agency is currently investigating “some matters” that in some way relate to Apple AAPL, Reuters is reporting. When pressed for what those matters might be, the chairman declined the parliament’s request for more details.

As its name might suggest, the FTC is South Korea’s competition watchdog. The agency ensures no companies are in violation of antitrust laws, and has the ability to investigate companies on its own before it brings formal charges. Like most other competition watchdogs around the world, the FTC is notoriously tight-lipped about any investigations before it moves forward with formal charges.

Of course, that’s not to say that Apple could face any charges, and the general lack of information offered by the FTC’s chairman gives us little to go on. It’s possible, in other words, that the FTC is investigating other companies with which Apple might have relations.

However, such a scenario is unlikely, according to The Korea Times. Last week, the Korea-based news outlet cited sources who said that the FTC is investigating Apple’s contracts with mobile carriers. More specifically, the sources say that Apple Korea might have requested carriers buy a minimum number of iPhones and forced them to share in the costs of repairing broken devices. The FTC is trying to determine whether such deals are anticompetitive, the report claimed.

While Korea has long been an important market for Apple, the FTC hasn’t always been so friendly to the company. In April, for instance, the FTC targeted Apple for including what it deemed unfair terms in its contracts with service repair partners. Apple has also been forced by the FTC to offer refunds to customers on repair services, according to The Korea Times.

While the FTC is silent on what its plans are for Apple, The Korea Times’ sources said last week that the company and its Korea-based subsidiary are under scrutiny and could face fines if contracts with mobile carriers are found to be in violation of competition regulations. It’s unclear what kind of damages Apple could face if it’s found to have violated Korea’s antitrust laws.

New York AG Thinks Time Warner Cable Is as Bad as You Do

Time Warner Cable is disappearing into Charter Communications, but not before the Attorney General of New York got off some parting shots at one of America’s most-hated companies.

After investigating Time Warner Cable’s advertised claims about its broadband Internet service for several months, the office of Attorney General Eric Schneiderman concluded that the actual service delivered to customers was “abysmal” and that some of the company’s claims about Wi-Fi were technically impossible.

“What we have seen in our investigation so far suggests that Time Warner Cable has earned the miserable reputation it enjoys among consumers,” Tim Wu, senior enforcement counsel wrote in a harsh letter to Charter CEO Tom Rutledge. “Overcoming this history will require more than a name change; it will require a fundamental revolution in how Time Warner Cable does business and treats its customers.”

Rutledge got the letter because he is inheriting Time Warner’s problems as part of Charter’s $67 billion acquisition of the company and Bright House Networks. He’s already buried the Time Warner Cable brand and will operate its networks under Charter’s Spectrum brand. The June 8 letter from the AG’s office is the latest embarrassment as Time Warner Cable disappears, following controversy over outgoing CEO Rob Marcus’s almost $100 million severance package and insensitive remarks to employees.

Time Warner had described its Internet service as “blazingly fast” and “super reliable” but the AG’s investigation found just the opposite. Large amounts of data traveling to Time Warner’s Internet customers was “regularly lost or discarded” and the performance of video services like Netflix nflx was degraded, Wu wrote.

“The problems appear to have been particularly acute at primetime, precisely when many customers log on or tune in,” Wu wrote. “Customers have been frustrated, as movies freeze, websites load endlessly, and games become non-responsive.”

Charter chtr plans to invest in upgrading Time Warner Cable’s network to provide greater speeds while eliminating data usage caps and modem leasing fees, a spokesman said. “Charter’s interconnection policies have been lauded by companies such as Netflix as a real benefit of these transactions for consumers,” the company said in a statement. “We look forward to bringing all these enhancements to customers in (New York) and redefining what a cable company can be.”

The AG’s office also had customers of various New York broadband providers send in speed test results. The survey found that Time Warner often failed to deliver the speeds customers were promised and failed more frequently than other broadband providers.

Consumers generally dislike their cable company, but Time Warner Cable has typically rated the lowest of the low in the industry. It came in dead last out of 300 companies in the the American Customer Satisfaction Index report last year, as it did in 2014.

U.S. Investigators Are Probing Goldman Sachs Over Malaysian Fund 1MDB

U.S. law enforcement officials are attempting to identify whether Goldman Sachs Group violated federal law after failing to flag a transaction in Malaysia, the Wall Street Journalreported, citing people it said were familiar with the investigation.

The probe concerns $3 billion raised by Goldman Sachs gs through a bond issue for Malaysian state investor 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

The focal point is whether the bank complied with the Bank Secrecy Act, the main U.S. anti-money laundering law.

Half of the proceeds from the sale, which were transferred by Goldman Sachs to a Swiss bank account controlled by 1MDB, disappeared with some ending up in the Malaysian prime minister’s bank account, the report said, citing people described as familiar with the matter and bank-transfer information viewed by the Wall Street Journal.

The investigators believe that Goldman Sachs may have had grounds to believe that the money was not used for its intended purpose, the report said. The bank has not been accused of wrongdoing, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The bank and the U.S. Justice Department were not immediately available for comment.

Venmo Likely Investigated Over User Privacy Violations

The payment app Venmo, which is a staple of life for many millennials, gave investors a nasty shock last week when its parent company, PayPal, disclosed in a recent SEC filing that it is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission.

The FTC and PayPal pypl have yet to say a word about just what Venmo did to land in hot water. But on Friday, a pretty big clue emerged about what the agency is looking into.

The clue comes in the form of a settlement document between Venmo and the Attorney General of Texas. The document describes a host of privacy violations, including an “autofriend” feature that scrapes the contact list from a user’s phone, and Venmo’s default setting of making payments public. It also says that Venmo shall not tell users it offers “bank-grade security” unless the claim is true.

To understand why this matters, it’s helpful to know how Venmo, which is soaring in popularity, operates in the first place. I only began using it last year, and was startled about some of its features.

First off, it’s incredibly easy to use and obviates the age-old problem of having to settle a bar tab or dinner check with friends who don’t have cash. You just type in their name and, zap, you pay them instantly — no matter what bank they use, and without any service fee. You can also set it up in minutes; I did it on my phone in a bar.

While the convenience is a delight, Venmo also has some unsettling aspects. For instance, it somehow knows everyone you know. And, in a feature that’s weird to non-millennials like me, Venmo publishes a news stream of financial transactions among your friends and others – you see (presuming you care) that John paid Ahmed for beer, Raoul sent Alice money for tacos, et cetera.

I promptly turned this feature off and set my transactions to private, but many other people have not. This is what may have led the Texas Attorney General to require Venmo, within 90 days, to tell users “clearly and conspicuously” that it makes certain features public unless users take steps to turn them off.

The Texas settlement document also alludes to a variety of other misbehaviors by Venmo. For instance, it says that the company must tell users how to reach customer service, and stop sending emails that appear to come from a user’s friend.

A fine and another investigation

The Texas settlement will require Venmo to pay a relatively paltry fine of $175,000 to the state and make a series of changes in how it does business. The more interesting question is what this means for the investigation by the FTC, which serves as America’s top privacy cop.

A Venmo spokesperson, in response to a question about the regulatory attention, said the company is cooperating with Texas and federal authorities.

“This agreement is a result of PayPal working in good faith and collaborating with the State of Texas to create a better experience for our Venmo users,” said the spokesperson by email. “Consumers entrust us to move and manage their money and we take that responsibility seriously.”

A spokesperson from the FTC said the agency does not comment on ongoing investigations, and that it could only confirm that the Venmo matter is ongoing.

The Trends PayPal Cofounder Max Levchin Thinks Will Change the World

A source familiar with the matter, who did not want to be identified, said that Venmo has yet to receive formal questions from the FTC, which suggests any investigation is still in an early stage. The person also said the company has not heard from other state regulators.

If the FTC does decide to collar Venmo, it’s unlikely to result in a fine or any serious business constraints, because the U.S agency doesn’t have the power to swoop in and impose penalties, unlike privacy cops in other countries. Instead it has to rely on its power to police “unfair and deceptive” trade practices.

In practice, this means a company ends up under a so-called “consent decree” that forces it to follow certain rules or else face a fine. The arrangement is so familiar that nearly every tech company — Google, Facebook, Snapchat, etc — is under a consent decrees based on fast-and-loose behavior from their early days.

Why Venmo Stopped This Woman From Using its App

Is it possible to say for certain that the FTC will follow in the footsteps of Texas? No, it’s not. But as the relevant federal and state laws (in this case the Texas Trade Deceptive Act) are quite similar, it would be surprising if the FTC does not act on some of the same objections, particularly the contact list scraping and the public setting default.

The outcome is likely to be that in the coming year, the FTC will unveil a settlement scolding Venmo for privacy violations. But overall, the peer-to-peer payment firm will keep on moving money.
